Overview
In 2009, EPA’s National Clean Diesel Campaign is distributing funding for clean diesel activities through two separate funding sources:
- the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) ($300 Million), and
- EPA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Appropriations.
An expedited process is currently underway for distribution of the Recovery Act funding. The distribution of the FY 2009 Funding will occur later this year.
Both funding sources are authorized by the National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program which was created under Title VII, Subtitle G (Sections 791 to 797) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58, signed August 8, 2005 (EPAct). The National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program is sometimes referred to as "DERA".
National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program Components
National Clean Diesel Program (70% of funding)
- National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program contains the majority of the funding dedicated to deployment of EPA-verified and certified technologies. This component will be administered by EPA"s regional offices.
- National Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program fosters the deployment of innovative technologies through a national grant competition. To qualify as an emerging technology, a manufacturer must have an EPA approved application and test plan for verification.
- SmartWay Clean Diesel Finance Program allows EPA to issue competitive grants to establish national low-cost revolving loans or other financing programs that will provide funding to fleets to reduce diesel emissions.
State Clean Diesel Grant Program (30% of funding)
- State Clean Diesel Grant Program makes funds directly available to States interested in establishing new diesel emission reduction programs.
